2022 LAUSD Elections

City Clerk Releases Candidate Videos

Voters are given the opportunity to hear directly from those seeking seats on the LAUSD School Board. Unfortunately, half of them stayed silent.

“I am running because every child deserves the opportunity to achieve their dreams, and every neighborhood deserves a public school that opens its doors to those children.”

- Rocío Rivas

With ballots already in the hands of the voters, the Los Angeles City Clerk has provided a resource for voters to become more informed. Every candidate was given the opportunity to submit a video where they could appeal directly to the voters who they would represent in office. These are now posted on the Clerk’s website along with a transcript, contact information, and the address for the candidate’s website.

Those making a decision in LAUSD Board District 4 are out of luck as none of the three candidates bothered to participate in the program. Incumbent Nick Melvoin and his two challengers, Tracey Schroeder and Gentille Barkhordarian, do not seem prepared to earn the votes that they are requesting.
